Health of the rural poor

It is pretty common to see people self medicate. I know because even I do it on occasions. After reading about the dangers I have stopped it and try to meet up with a doctor whenever possible. Unless it is a very trivial problem self  medication should  be avoided.

I not sure if people have become increasingly fearful and are scared that they will contract some disease. I feel that our generation is more healthy and as a result  of it live longer. It is true that doctors are increasingly dependent on machines but that  also increases the number of patients a doctor can treat in a day. Unfortunately serving the rural masses is no longer a priority for doctors so I wonder what needs to be done to improve rural health.
